    Evidence

    His mother got murdered when he was young, and his father was accused of it and was taken away for it. Let's dive in to Barry Allen's past in his path to becoming the fastest man alive.

    Plus

    Brian and Francis shows how well they work together on their take of Flash's Zero issue. The plot for this issue takes us back to Barry's past. The storyline was written effectively with the art complementing it well. Brian's colors for the flashback draws you in to the story, but it doesn't fall short when the panels come back to the present. Francis on the other hand displays his biggest strength in his arsenal which is his layouts. The layout on every page was brilliant and will hook the readers' eyes. The characters' faces were drawn with correct detail to reflect their feelings which lures the readers more as it appeals to their emotions.

    Minus

    Readers probably wanted to see more of how Barry created his costume... I know I did.

    Final Score

    It's an amazing display to see just two people in Brian and Francis to do so much damage with limited pages. The Zero issues I have read so far didn't disappoint, Flash #0 included. Marvelous art and plot in 15 pages, be ready to be blown away. Also, I think Francis Manapul just hinted us on his favorite Filipino dish. 5/5 stars.

      I have really enjoyed this series so far and have loved Manapul's work on the Scarlet Speedster. I am happy that Manapul is doing the art on this issue as he hasn't for some of the series and although Marcus To's art is good Manpul's just suits the Flash much more. I also like Buccellato's colours as it really gives the book a lot of tone.This story see's how Barry Allen became the Flash.It starts with Barry Allen visiting his father in jail telling him that he will keep trying to clear his name...

      Who is Daniel? 0

      It turns out that "Darryl Frye" the man who raised Barry is a long existing character in the Flash mythos, he was even a quirky vigilante named Captain Incredible. Then there's this new Daniel guy... I'm sure he's going to be the center of controversy for a while. Nice issue!Please check my mini-review of The Flash #0 here:http://bit.ly/QxBLWhComments and feedback are always welcome!...
